Behind the Times: Some Other Amazing Discoveries

The "newness" required in my Times assignment eliminated a lot of incredible options, such as my newest favorite side table of all time, Arrow + Sash (above), from Excalibur Foundry, this wonderful metal shop in Brooklyn (that made the mirror). The mold for this has been around for 10 years, but only a few have been cast. You can custom order them for about $5,000 a pop. A selection of my other loves follows:

Painted Italian Drum/Side Table, Coleen & Company, $750 (a very tasteful friend bought a British version on Ebay, got a piece of glass cut for the top...and it's perfection).

Another Industrial Lamp, Darr

Horn #2, ABS Workshop, Discontinued (grrr) (Artist Agelio Batle, who did the marble soda cans, makes hundreds of incredible little graphite sculptures...at which you can stare and with which you can draw!)

i just read your comment about your dad. My dad responds, verbatim. he's so impressed that i remember to send them to him everyday. the other day he asked how my 'block station' was coming along. my dear old dad.
